I don't see how to get to the forum from the main page. I can click on one of the discussion links but you really should have a more prominent link to your forums home page.

Other than that I really like the style and layout. I think it has a lot of potential. Just keep in mind you've chosen a highly competitive subject where there are already several very successful boards out there.

Join some of them and link to your site in your sig. That would probably help. Also get your site listed in a bunch of those webmaster resources directories.

It's a problem all of us have faced. There are some general tips people can give but for the most part it seems to be hit or miss. Some crappy boards (in every respect) go on to become very successful whereas some of the best laid out, best run sites flop.

well, as i see u allow ur customers to advertise for posting and that's a nice way to get ur board going... but i think u need to put it in a more emphatic manner... maybe add a box which tells ur users about the forums on the main page content as kilcher said... that would surely help... try to get ur site name around to a lot of people like adding it ur siggy, or affliating with some other peoples.. maybe lestablish link exchanges with similar sites and wait for it to grow soomthly.... and yes, just have a team of 2-3 people which answers most of the Q's at board promptly in every sense... that would sure help if not make it better....
